What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
find_categoriesFind category ids to use with search_places / export_leads. Returns matching ids, their place in the taxonomy, and how many US places each has. Broader ids include all their subcategories.
search_placesSearch US businesses and places by category, name and location. Needs at least one location filter or a name. Returns up to 100 compact results per call plus the total match count; use export_leads instead when you need more than a few pages.
get_placeFull record for one place: all contact fields, coordinates, category path, data sources and license, and the latest website check if one was run.
export_leadsBuild a lead list as a CSV download link (valid 24 h): name, category, address, phone, website, email, socials, coordinates, source and license per row. Needs a category and a location. Rows count against the plan's monthly export quota; preview shows the first rows.
verify_websitesCheck whether each place's listed website is live right now (status per place: live, live_bot_protected, redirected_elsewhere, page_not_found, dead_domain, unreachable, ...). Use before outreach. Each place checked counts as one call.

Common questions
Is Storefinch safe?
It passed 3 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: Authorization
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
